The 2024 edition of the Hong Kong Sevens is expected to sell out, with less than 500 tickets available for the tournament that will take place from April 5-7. The event, which is one of the biggest on the city’s sports calendar, will take place at the Hong Kong Stadium for the last time this year as it will move to the 50,000-capacity main stadium at Kai Tak Sports Park in 2025.
This will be the first year since the pandemic that the tournament will sell out, with overseas spectators accounting for more than 40% of ticket sales, as opposed to 23% in 2023 and 3% in 2022. According to the tournament organisers, there has been “strong uptake from the UK, Australia and Fiji”. In addition, there will be international entertainment and music acts, such as reggae legends The Wailers, Journey’s Arnel Pineda, DJ James Haskell, and Taiwanese cheerleading squad the Rakuten Girls.
Hong Kong music star Celine Tam and up-and-coming Cantopop girl group Lolly Talk will also perform during the tournament. In addition, the Tradition Hong Kong Football Club 10s and Kowloon RugbyFest 10s Tournaments will both play out before Friday’s Sevens kick-off. Sevens fever has also taken over the city, with more than 20 breakfasts, brunches, lunches, drinks and dinner functions being held in the city to commemorate the event.
